Viktoria Mullova, violin
Alasdair Beatson, piano

Overview
The great violinist Victoria Mullova returns to Megaron, joined by the Scottish virtuoso pianist Alastair Beatson. Their program is dominated by Beethoven’s Sonatas no. 4 and no. 7. Both are a reference point in the repertoire for the two instruments, which are involved in dynamic arguments, mysterious whisperings, ecstatic exclamations and tender confessions. Making a great leap in time, the two musicians perform an ethereal work by the Japanese composer Toru Takemitsu and the mystagogical masterpiece Fratres by the Estonian Arvo Pärt, a work that established him internationally, unfolding a sacred ritual and a redeeming reflection on the simplicity and immediacy of sound.
